Indonesia wins golds in men's dragonboat race

The contingent of Indonesia in Asian Games 2010 has a reason to celebrate now that the Indonesia's male dragon boat team earned 3 gold medals (1000m, 500m, 250m events) for the country.

Meanwhile, the women's team won the silver medals for those events.

Their triumph followed what had been a success in clean-sweeping the gold medals in inaugural Asian Beach Games in 2008. The victory also casted away the hesitation of sending the dragon boat team to the multi-event which was mentioned before "involving too many members with low chance of earning medal" and proved the team's result of hardwork.

Each member of the team who earned gold will receive Rp 400 million (US$ 45000) and Rp 200 million is given for silver. The Office of the State Minister of Youth and Sports Affairs had mentioned that it would not be a burden for them to reward it, moreover a total joy and shared happiness for the athletes' success.

Always keep improving, my fellow countrymen, and congratulations for this great achievements!

The Gifts

A reading adapted from the Gospel of Saint John (John 8: 2-11):

---At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the g

roup and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?"

Reacting to it, Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. Then he raised himself up and said to them, "If any one

of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

Those who heard this, being convicted by their conscience,leave away one at a time, the older ones first,until Jesus was the only one left with the woman.

Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

"No one, sir," she said.

"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared.---

Only God knows best about each and every human's heart. I seek the kingdom of Heaven and therefore my faith, hope and love remain.

Trust

How do you think LOVE can be apparent? The heart always comes first.

And we've made it clear and certain for us. Monogamous relationship.

Wootz, time for some update.

Despite a shaky start and some errors due to pressure and lack of experience, The Cheaters played well as a team and all the members showed a great courage. It was a great time that we spent together as a team, good effort from everyone and I personally enjoyed the support from the crowd as well. Making it to the finals was really wonderful and we gave a bold fight to the strong opposing team as we saved 3 match points (well, if you are involved in sports, you know well about "not everyday you get to save a match point").

The team eventually won a SILVER medal.

Thank you for all the support (including the smile by the girl behind us)! :D
